dpd project [VERSION 2!] [Full List of Discs] [FAQ] [Find A Song or Band] [Message Board]      

Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

Premonition

Picked By: darpino
For: DPD: 026 - Swan Songs: Favorite Songs Off Final Albums

A combination of personal dislike for one another, record label troubles and a disastrously mismanaged album release resulted in these guys breaking up just when they were becoming really good as a band. I've always liked the goofy thrash/pop sound of N.A.D. but their final album was the one that really did it for me. Actually it was the first album of theirs I bought. It's obvious on the album that the band members were going in different directions musically, but they managed to combine their interests track after track to make a much more diverse sound than they ever had before. This track is a good example of how they were growing with its drum loops, samples and acoustic guitar working over their trade mark double bass. These guys called it quits at the height of their powers as a band.
